The Dukes of Hazzard: The Great Santa Claus Chase

Boss Hogg tries once again to get those infernal Duke boys out of his hair (or lack thereof) by framing them with stealing a load of Christmas trees. However, they get ahead of him and manage to keep their names clear of this.

However, they decide to give Boss a wake up call by staging a visit from the Ghosts of Past, Present and Future for him. However, it goes wrong and they have to give it up. But then Roscoe gives Boss a copy of A Christmas Carol and Boss reads it, getting into the story. Realizing he's a lot like Scrooge, he brings gifts to the Duke farm and celebrates Christmas with them.
